University of Minnesota Memorial Stadium

Memorial Stadium also known as the "Old Brickhouse" was the home of Minnesota Golden Gophers football from 1924 until 1981. During that span the team won six "mythical" national championships. The stadium seated approximately 66,000 people, although many of the seats were far away from the field; the official capacity of the stadium during the 1970s was listed as 57,000. The school elected to move out of the stadium to the Metrodome about two miles away during the spring of 1982. The stadium was torn down 10 years later. The University of Minnesota is currently in the process of studying ways to build a new on-campus stadium, although the original site cannot be used because of new construction including an aquatic center and the McNamara Alumni Center.

The NFL's Minnesota Vikings played a 1969 regular season game against the Green Bay Packers at Memorial Stadium due to a conflict with a Minnesota Twins playoff game.
